WE HAVE TWO CHOICES!!
by Holly Mills
"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not
with me scattereth abroad" (Matt.12:30).
As I see it, today we have to make one of two choices, are
we for God or are we against him? We are living in a world that
is being divided into two sides. On the one side we have those
who love the Lord Jesus Christ and who stand ready to defend Him
and His Laws. On the other side we have those who want nothing to
do with Him. Those who mock and deride Him at every chance they
get. I believe this division is becoming more and more obvious
the closer we come to our Lord's return.
In the world today we have the option of choosing light or
darkness. "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and
his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil." (1 Peter 3:12) The global distress
and confusion that is going on is a sign that Jesus is about to
return. Our Israel people must soon stand up and be counted on
the side of Jesus Christ, our Lord, or be destroyed. There is so
much evil in this world today that it cannot possibly go on much
longer. Our Christian Israel nations have lost the rudder that
guides them. We have lost the ability to know what is right and
what is wrong. We have forsaken our God and His Laws and we are
now floundering. "For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in Pain together until now" (Rom. 8.22).
Another indication of our great falling away is that people
are able to ridicule Jesus Christ and we are supposed to accept
it without any argument! If anyone were to ridicule Mohammed or
Buddha there would be cries of outrage! Where are our cries of
outrage at the degradation of Jesus Christ? He is being attacked
from all sides. His very Deity is being questioned and we stand
by as onlookers, afraid to say anything. We are indeed the LOST
SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. We must listen to the words of 2
Peter 1:10 "Wherefore the rather brethren, give diligence to make
your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall." I also like Rom. 8:28 "And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose."
In this world gone mad we must have "diligence, virtue,
knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness
and charity." I believe many people out there do not even know
what they believe. They are empty. Unfortunately these same
people turn aside as soon as you mention the hope that is in
Jesus Christ. They are choosing the side of darkness, against
God. "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as
a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1
Peter 5:8).
We are now living in a time of war. This war is involving
the whole world in one-way or another. Peace marches and angry
demonstrations are happening throughout the globe. It is time to
choose whose side you are on. "That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious than of gold, that perisheth though it
be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and
glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ"(1 Peter 1:7).
We are in a time of great crisis. There is war, financial
hardship, environmental disas ters, disease, and untold suffering
throughout the world. We know that the time of our Lord's return
is near. I ask you to please choose the side of Light in Jesus
Christ. He is the hope of a world in turmoil and we must pray his
return is near. "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which
thou hast, that no man take thy crown" (Rev. 3:11).
Hold fast, watch and pray and may you have peace in the
comfort of Jesus Christ.

Note:
Why I also pray Jesus will return soon (which also means the
horrific destruction as foretold in the book of Revelation on
this earth), I also know that 40 or 50 years to God is as a
millioneth of the blinking of an eye. I also know that MANY
things must yet take shape within the nations of this earth to
bring to pass the prophecies of the Bible.
So we keep looking at the signs, we keep watching as Jesus told
us to do.
